Age Verification Laws: The Privacy Nightmare Parents Never Asked For!
Age verification will not keep children safe online. Instead, it’s like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut, restricting access for everyone. Let’s focus on privacy laws and parental controls to protect our kids, not mandatory age checks that make the internet feel like an exclusive club with a bouncer.
Hot Take:
Who knew that verifying your age online could make you feel like you’re trying to sneak into a nightclub with a fake ID? Age verification laws are turning the internet into a bouncer that just says, “Sorry, kiddo, not on the list.”
Key Points:
- Age verification laws are creating more problems than they solve, with website shutdowns and privacy concerns.
- These laws fail to address the complex social issues of online safety for minors.
- Parental controls offer a better solution, but are currently underused.
- Privacy laws could provide better protection for minors than age verification mandates.
- Supporting comprehensive privacy legislation and fighting against data brokers are crucial steps forward.
